To show the generalization ability of our proposed HALP algorithm, we also apply the algorithm to the object detection task. In this experiment we take the popular architecture Single Shot Detector (SSD) [1]} on the PASCAL VOC
dataset [2]}. Following the “07+12” setting in [1]}, we use the union of VOC2007 and VOC2012 trainval as our training set and use the VOC2007 test as test set.We pretrain a SSD512 detector with ResNet50 as the backbone. The details of the SSD structure are elaborated in the appendix. Same to classification task, we prune the trained detector and finetune afterwards. We only prune the backbone network in the detector.
